When all your gals are off at camp and you’re stuck at home
with the fam, what’re you supposed to do to keep boredom at bay? Well, that’s
where your sibs come in. They’re not half bad if ya give ‘em a chance, so here
are 5 fun things you can do together to pass the time.

Hose Wars

Throw on your swimsuits, and head out to the backyard.
There’s a waterpark just waitin’ for ya, and it won’t cost you a cent. Put your
thumb over the end of the hose so that most of the hole is covered, and then
you can create different sprinkler effects. Just make sure that everyone gets a
fair turn being the sprinkler to keep your summer fun from turning into a
summer fight.

Gamers, Minus the
Videos

Pull out a variety of boardgames, so that there’s something
for everyone – the lucky sib, the smart one, and the goofy one. Then you can
take turns picking your fave games and totally crushing each other (in the
nicest way possible, of course). Also, see what games you’ve got lying around
that ya haven’t tried yet. Sometimes you’ll find that the “grownup games,” like
Scrabble or Taboo, that your ‘rents thought would bore you when you were
younger are pretty fun now.

Tasty Treats

Everybody loves sugary cereal, right? Make it even better by
putting it into Rice Krispie Treats. They’re really simple to make, and you can
do a couple batches, using a different kind of puffed cereal each time. All you
have to do is prepare a baking pan with cooking spray, and then melt ¼ cup of
butter and 5 cups of marshmallows over low heat on the stove. Pour the melted
mixture into a bowl, and stir in 5 ½ cups of your and your sibs’ fave cereal.
Then just pour it all into the prepared pan, press it down, and let it cool for
a while. Voila! A yummy homemade snack for you and your sibs to share.

Olympics FTW

While you’re waiting for the real Summer Olympics to start,
have your own! Grab your sibs, and hold a series of competitions in your
backyard. You can play traditional sports, like basketball and soccer, and you
can also do your own crazy ones. Make up an obstacle course, have a
hula-hooping contest, throw some water balloons, and do the limbo. If you wanna
go all out, you and your sibs can even make medals for the winners at the end
of the day.

Not-So-Embarrassing
Home Videos

Usually when Mom and Dad bring out the home videos, you and
your sibs groan. It’s gonna be you doing silly stuff when you were a baby –
super boring, and super embarrassing. But now, you can make your own home
videos! Grab the camera (carefully), and see what you and your sibs can come up
with. Try doing a parody of a movie genre, like an extra sappy romance or a
dorky horror film. You can write up a script, or just see how good you all are
at improv. Then when Mom and Dad get home in the evening, you can have a
screening. And be sure you and your sibs get the best seats in the house, since
you’re the stars!
